Module Operation
A block diagram of a typical 110 VAC digital output module is
shown in Figure 1.
The processor modules send triplicated write data commands
to the output module over the I/O Safetybus. The processors’
addressing data and data write commands are voted by the
module (preventing I/O Safetybus failures upstream from the
module from affecting module operation). The voted result is
then passed to the I/O bus interface logic.

The voted output data from the I/O bus interface logic is then
used to drive the output circuits. Zero crossing turn-on
TRIAC drivers are used to convert the logic level output drive
signals to switch 110 VAC power to load devices.
When the output is logically turned on, the field device is
energized, and when the output is logically turned off, the
field device is de-energized.
